I certainly didn't think my post would create a frisson. However, I always say, if people are feeling and thinking at all, it's a step in the right direction. If anyone is offended by the post remove it from the thread. It was not intended to do so.
I won't apologize for the words because they are not mine. They came to me from a minister. How close are all of you with your church or ministers, or priests? Do you think they lack a sense of humor? Well then you're not very close to them.
